Who will Lead the Fight for Health Equity? | Malhaar Agrawal | TEDxFredericksburg

How can the nation's youth help to end health disparities? High school senior Malhaar Agrawal shares how a team of student volunteers in underserved communities are making a difference! Malhaar is a Senior at Horace Mann School in the Bronx. He is dedicated to alleviating health disparities in minority populations through his 501(c)3 non-profit Health Disparity. With a team of student volunteers, he organizes workshops in undeserved communities where he teaches students about health disparities and creates a safe space where youth can discuss health and wellness. He has partnered with schools and medical centers to implement a health disparities curriculum, allowing students to document cancer health disparities in their own neighborhoods using national databases. He is an avid student-scientist, having done public health and biological research which has been presented at national scientific conferences like the American Association for Cancer Research, National Medical Association, and others. He has interned at the National Institutes of Health and the New York Genome Center. His research won the First Award at Intel's International Science and Engineering Fair. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
